Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cette Année-là by M. Pokora from French to English.

We remember that year

So we all go back there together

We remember that year

So we all go back there together

We remember that year

So we all go back there together

We remember that year

So we all go back there together

That year

I was singing for the first time

The audience didn't know me

What a year, that year

That year

Rock'n'roll had just spread its wings

And in my corner I was singing "Belle, Belle, Belle"

And the crowd liked it

Already, the Beatles were four boys in the wind

And me, my song said walk straight ahead

That year

What a joy to be the idol of the young

For fans who smashed the seats

The more I think about it, the less I forget

I found my first, my last love

The only, the great, the unique and forever the audience

That year

In the sky a tune went by

A bird they called Sputnik

What a year, that year!

That's when we said goodbye to Marilyn with the golden heart

While West Side was breaking every record

That year!

The guitars fired at the violins

We thought a revolution

Was coming that year!

It was yesterday, but today nothing's changed

It's the same craft that starts again tonight

Ok, this is for everybody at home

Let's clap our hands all together!

That's it!

That was the year, that was sixty-two!

The year sixty-two!

That was the year, that was sixty-two!

The year sixty-two!

That year

SONG MEANING

Hop in our time machine and set the dial to 1962! In “Cette Année-là,” M. Pokora invites us to look back at a magical year when rock’n’roll was still fresh, the Beatles were just “four boys in the wind,” and the whole world seemed to buzz with new sounds and bold dreams. The singer remembers stepping on stage for the very first time, instantly falling in love with the roaring crowd who smashed theater seats in pure excitement. While Sputnik zipped through the heavens, West Side Story broke box-office records on Earth, and the tragic farewell to Marilyn Monroe reminded everyone how quickly legends can fade. 1962 felt like a cultural fireworks show where guitars challenged violins and every beat hinted at a coming revolution.

M. Pokora’s cover turns that nostalgia into a lively sing-along, proving that the thrill of performing and the power of music never age. By inviting us to “clap our hands together,” he bridges past and present, showing that even though decades have flown by, the joy of sharing a song with thousands of voices in unison is still the greatest love story of any artist. Ready to relive that year? Press play, clap along, and feel 1962 all over again!
